Labour Court hears evidence in the Ammi Burke case against the law firm Arthur Cox
The Irish Independent and the Journal reported that the Labour Court heard Ammi Burke had a superiority complex while working at Arthur Cox. The Irish Times reported the court was told she was to blame for damage to her reputation since her dismissal, and the Irish Examiner reported the court heard the sacked solicitor could not have caused more damage to herself. Who gave this evidence is not clear from the headlines, and Ms Burke's own account was not seen.
Dismissals at large law firms are rarely tested in public. The case shows how the Labour Court weighs evidence about conduct and reputation.
It is a reminder that employment disputes can be heard in public bodies, with decisions published later.
Evidence critical of Ms Burke was put to the court.
Her side has the right to answer it.
Remarks heard in a hearing are not findings. Wait for the Labour Court's decision.
